Res. Evil 5 exclusivity?

Thankfully for Resident Evil fans, this is a story that seems to have come and gone. Earlier in the day, British site GamesIndustry was reporting that Microsoft had secured one-year 360 exclusivity for Resident Evil 5. This was based on speculation about the game's absence from the Tokyo Game Show, and practically validated when Xbox Japan head Takashi Sensui refused to deny claims. CVG has been told by a Capcom spokesperson, however, that the reason the game wasn't at TGS is because it's still too early into development. The plan remains to release the game for both the PS3 and 360.
